Paragon NTFS for Mac may not work correctly if there are some traces of the previous version of the driver left in the system. Symptoms are that some or all NTFS volumes are not mounted automatically, thus not available in Finder, and Verify/Repair doesn’t help. Or they may be displayed in Finder but available only for read access, and you cannot write data to NTFS volume.
Paragon NTFS for Mac is fully compatible with Apple's new security policy ensuring fast, hassle-free and safe access to NTFS partitions from macOS 10.12 Sierra. Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software supports ALL the versions of NTFS (from Windows NT 3.1 to Windows 10). Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software is able to get access to compressed files and folders, it has no problems with sparse files and enables all the needed operations with files and folders with security permissions. Open NTFS for Mac 15 UI (User Interface). Note: you can do it either from System Preferences section, from Menu Bar App, or from Launchpad. Click Paragon NTFS for Mac 15 on the upper left corner of the menu bar, select Preferences.
NTFS for Mac 10/11/12
Run the following commands in terminal:
- sudo rm /Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/NTFS10
or
sudo rm /Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/NTFS11
or
sudo rm /Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/NTFS12 - /Library/PreferencePanes/NTFSforMacOSX.prefPane/Contents/Resources/uninstall.sh
- Reboot
NTFS for Mac 9.5
Please run Finder and go to the folder “/System/Library/Filesystems”, and check if “ufsd.fs” file is in that folder. This is the file of previous version of NTFS for Mac product. If i”ufsd.fs” file is there, please delete it and then empty Trash Bin.
Please DO NOT remove file “ufsd_NTFS.fs”! “ufsd_NTFS.fs” file is part of NTFS for Mac 9.5, and if you delete it the program simply won’t work, and you will need to reinstall it.
NTFS for Mac 9.0 and older versions
NTFS for MAC OS x 6.0 used to be installed on a computer, and then it was upgraded to 7 or 8. As a result the new version (7 or 8) does not work or work just partly. Following issues may come up:
- NTFS volumes are not mounted automatically
- some NTFS volumes can be mounted automatically, others cannot be mounted
- verification (error check) of NTFS volumes does not help to solve the issue
The cause for such behavior is that some files of the 6th version are left on the computer even after this version was uninstalled. To fix this certain files should be found and removed manually. It can be done the following way:
- remove new version from the computer
- reboot the computer
Here’re detailed instructions:
- Go to /System/Library/Filesystems if you find ufsd.fs file, please follow the instructions below:
- run the following command in Terminal to remove the file
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Filesystems/ufsd.fs - run the following command
vi /System/Library/Extensions/ntfs.kext/Contents/Info.plist
If this file contains a line “com.paragon-software.filesystem.ufsd”, then this file should be removed. Use this command to remove file:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/ufsd.kext - Clean cache: run the following command
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/
- run the following command in Terminal to remove the file
- Reboot your computer now

Paragon Software Ntfs For Mac
System: iMac - (27-inch, Late 2012)
Processor: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
Operating System: Mac OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6
Software Application: Paragon NTFS For Mac Version 14.2.359
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve been experiencing a somewhat regular series of system crash events for the past few months. It’s taken awhile to track down the cause of these crashes but I finally found what appears to be the culprit - Paragon’s NTFS For Mac Version 14.2.359. I’ve conducted several tests using two different brand 1TB external hard drives connected to two different side-by-side USB ports (which, by the way caused no problems whatsoever until my recent upgrade to Paragon NTFS For Mac Version 14.2.359. One factor that I can verify without a doubt - as soon as NTFS For Mac is disabled through System Preferences, the system crashes stop. At this point I have the external hard drives connected to the USB ports with NTFS For Mac disabled and have not experienced any system crashes. Below is a copy of my latest system crash report.
It should be noted that when one or both external hard drives were connected to a USB port with NTFS For Mac enabled, system crashes occurred at intervals of 15 minutes to half an hour after each recovery from a previous crash. As you can see this made my entire system unusable.
I look forward to hearing from you once you've had an opportunity to review my current information and decide what is the best way to resolve this issue.
Unfortunately, due to a strict number of characters limited per post (here on your forum) my crash report has been significantly truncated.
